The bill at the national assembly seeking a six-year single term for the President and governors of Nigeria has been predicted to fail under President Bola Tinubu’s watch.
A Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) member, Rilwan Olanrewaju, made the prediction in an exclusive interview with TimesNow.com.ng, adding that the President’s camp rejected the bill when former President Goodluck Jonathan introduced it.
The bill, which was introduced by 35 members of the House of Representatives on Monday, June 10, also proposed a rotational presidency within the country’s six geopolitical regions.
Reacting to the bill, Olanrewaju maintained that it would allow the current leaders to loot the country, knowing they had no second chance to become President.
He said:
TimesNow.com.ng earlier reported that Atiku expressed interest in contesting the 2027 presidential election.
Atiku may have better luck in the 2027 presidential election if he can secure the northern alliance, reconcile with Peter Obi and Kwankwaso to ensure their return to the PDP, regain the support of the Southeast, and capitalize on the internal crisis within the All Progressives Congress (APC).
